My previous shower has come to it end of life and i am planning on replacing it with a triton 300Si 9.;5KW shower.
the current circuit is a 6mm2 wire to its own shower consumer unit with a 50amp mcb, the cable is run in uninsulated stone walls through a loft space and under some very draft fllor boards. What i want to know is it going to be ok to reuse the 6mm2 cable and the 50amp fuse seems a little high for what was the previous shower a triton 80si, (not sure if it was 7.5 kw or 9.5kw.
any advice on whether im looking at needing to run a 10mm2 cable would be appreciated as this will not be an easy run, also what sort of cable length will 6mm satisfy thank
